Sailor Moon Online II: SAO Shippuden

 

(Sword Art Online II music ‘Courage’ starts)

 

As the intro starts, we see images of swords go by and reflected on the blades of the swords are images of Suguha and Leafa with the final reflection from the blades of the sword are Rika, Lisbeth, SAO and ALO forms, Keiko, Silica, SAO and ALO forms, Shion, Sinon, GGO and ALO forms, Kotone, Philia, SAO/SAW and ALO forms, Hiyori, Kuro, and Lux.

 

The next shows Princess Selene then turning into a toddler Suguha Kirigaya, who then ‘ages’ into a 13-year-old Suguha Kirigaya, warping into Suguha Kirigaya of 15-16 years of age, then into Eternal Sailor Celestial, and finally, into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial. As Valkyrie Sailor Celestial turns to the skies to see some unseen sight, Rika, Keiko, Shion/Sailor Orion, Kotone, and Hiyori appear behind her.

 

Just then it turns into images of Ancient Egypt of Atem’s time, Atlantis, the original Domino City, Neo Domino City, and ALO before we see Suguha Kirigaya looking at a ‘shooting star’ before she transforms into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial before facing an unknown figure that uses the Seal of Orichalcos that surrounds her and her enemy.

 

Next, Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze are seen in two separate images which change where Suguha, then Leafa, and finally, Valkyrie Sailor Celestial are using their kendo/sword techniques. Just then Rika/Lisbeth, Keiko/Silica, Shion/Sinon/Sailor Orion, Kotone/Philia, and Hiyori/Lux are seen before we see Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, using her sword techniques, is joined by Naruto, using his famous Shadow Clones and Rasengan, in this ‘fight demonstration’.

 

Then we find Valkyrie Sailor Moon walking slowly forward until she is face to face with Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and the two of them stare at each other before Valkyrie Sailor Celestial brings out Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) and Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (2500/2000) with Valkyrie Sailor Moon brings out Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000) and Clearwing Fast Dragon (2500/2000) in which they go into an epic clash with Valkyrie Sailor Moon and Valkyrie Sailor Celestial clashing blades themselves.

 

The scene changes to Davis and Kazuto, looking a lot like his SAO avatar of Kirito, facing off against Naruto with Naruto bring out Red Nova Dragon (3500/3000) and Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon (3000/2500) while Kazuto brings out Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity (4000/3500) and Davis brings out Shooting Star Dragon (3300/2500) along with the other Signer and Duel Dragons in which they launch into an epic titanic fight.

 

Just then we see Sailor Celestial, Sailor Orion, Lisbeth, Silica, Philia, and Lux engaged by a legion of opponents including monsters from ALO and Duel Monsters which they fight and defeat, but then a mysterious figure brings out the Divine Serpent used by Dartz, but Sailor Celestial, Lisbeth, and Silica bring out the three Legendary Dragons, Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos, and they transform into their true forms: The Legendary Knights of Atlantis where they defeat the Divine Serpent.

 

Naruto and Sailor Celestial are back to back surrounded by Sakura, Hinata, Rika, Keiko, Sailor Orion, Kotone, and Hiyori as a powerful circle brings for the three Aesir, Thor, Loki, and Odin as well as the three Egyptian God Monsters: Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra in which all of them unleash an incredible attack creating a massive bright light. From that light, Black-Winged Dragon (2800/1600) emerges along with the Crimson Dragon.

 

The scene then switches to images of Yugi Moto, Pharaoh Atem, Seto Kaiba, Joey Wheeler, Dartz, and more before switching to our heroes and heroines with images of Neo Domino City, Aincrad/SAO, ALO, the Elemental Countries including the Leaf Village, and more as images of Suguha and Naruto from childhood into their current years are seen before Suguha turns into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and the two of them look into the distance.

 

Finally, we have different scenes where we see Naruto training and mastering the Rasengan, Leafa flying through the virtual skies of ALO, Serena becoming Sailor Moon for the first time, and leading to a scene with all of our heroes and heroines, joined by Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata, racing towards some kind of unknown destination in which it finally stop at all of them assembled together flanked by Earth, Atlantis, and the Leaf Village in the background along with the Legendary Dragons/Knights, the Signer and Duel Dragons, the Aesir, and Egyptian God Monsters.

 

(Sword Art Online II music ‘Courage’ ends)

 

Arc III: Chapter 21: Lines of Vengeance

 

May 27, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture

 

In the skies of the Kyoto Prefecture, we find Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Katsuragi, and the Crimson Squad riding on Red Dragon Archfiend, who is ‘solid’ due to the fact that Naruto is using Real Solid Vision technology that gives the ‘projections’ actual physical mass and substance, flying high over the reborn ‘castle of death’ that caused so much upheaval in the world from November 2022 to November of 2024: Aincrad, the massive castle world of Sword Art Online.

 

Homura says, “So, that’s Aincrad, huh? Damn!”

 

Hikage says, with a plain tone, “You can smell death in that place.”

 

Yomi asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

Naruto says, “It may not be that simple, but since the ‘original SAO’ Aincrad is there, I can sense the lingering negative feelings from it.”

 

Sakura says, “No joke that there would be plenty ‘negative feelings’ from that place.”

 

Hinata asks, “Where should we go first?”

 

Naruto says, “I say that we should start from the bottom floor and move up.”

 

Suzume says, with a nod, “That’s the best solution right now.”

 

Naruto says, “All right, let’s go Red Dragon!” Red Dragon Archfiend then moves in to enter Aincrad through the lower floors.

 

May 27, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture, Aincrad

 

Inside of said castle, we find Sailor Orion, Rika, Hiyori, and Keiko on the first floor and looking as a massive trail of dust and smoke heading towards them at high speed.

 

Keiko asks, curiously and a bit fearfully, “What is that?”

 

Hiyori says, nervously, “I don’t know.”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Stay behind me.” Keiko and Hiyori look at Sailor Orion curiously as she aims her weapon at the coming dust trail and at one point, she fires an arrow of light right at the dust trail and after a second, they hear a loud high-pitched male shriek as the dust trial stops for a few moments.

 

Keiko asks, confused, “What was that?”

 

Rika responds, “Someone screaming actually.”

 

Sailor Orion says, with a plain tone, “A wuss of an opponent.” Soon after, the dust trail starts up again and with a loud ‘boom’, similar to a sonic boom, what or should I say, WHO, was creating the dust trail appears in the form of none other than Oberon, the ALO avatar of Sugou Nobuyuki, who floats down in front of them with an enraged look on his face as well as a nasty scratch on his right cheek.

 

Oberon yells out, “Who dares scratch the cheek of the mighty Oberon?”

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “Who?”

 

Rika says, curiously, “The name sounds familiar…”

 

Oberon shouts out, angrily, “I am the ruler of Alfheim!”

 

Hiyori asks, surprised, “Alfheim? You mean ALO?”

 

Oberon says, with a sneer, “Indeed! Until I usurped by a so-called hero…”

 

Sailor Orion says, with a plain tone, “You mean Kirito.”

 

There are gasps of Keiko, Hiyori, and Rika and Oberon says, with a sneer, “I see. You are one of his friends…Yes, I remember. He is friends with Kayaba’s wretched niece, who is also Sailor Moon, so, as a Sailor Scout, you must be his friend too!”

 

Sailor Orion retorts, strongly, “And if I am?”

 

Oberon says, with an evil smile, “Then I’ll draw him out of hiding! Yes, I know that he is in this castle! And these girls with him must also be his friends! Your suffering will bring his wretched hide out so I can send him into the darkness!”

 

Keiko says, nervously, “Yipe!”

 

Sailor Orion says, “You should be afraid. You should remember who he is. He is the ALO avatar of Sugou Nobuyuki.”

 

There are gasps of shock from Keiko and Rika and Rika shouts out, “Sugou Nobuyuki? I remember that ass! He was the one that kept Asuna and three hundred other SAO survivors prisoner in ALO when it was under the control of RCT Progress!”

 

Sailor Orion says, “And performing those mind control experiments on those survivors while keeping Asuna trapped in a big bird cage while he molester her as you remember the story from Kirito, Asuna, and Serena.”

 

Hiyori asks, horrified, “Mind control?”

 

Rika says, with a nod, “Yeah. I’m sure that you heard of how that after SAO ended, there were three hundred of our fellow survivors including Asuna who didn’t ‘wake up’.”

 

Hiyori says, with a nod, “Yes, I heard about it. I didn’t understand why most of us woke up and not all of us, but…”

 

Keiko says, with a smile, “We know, Hiyori.”

 

Rika says, with a sneer at Oberon, “Well, it was this jerk, who was head of RCT Progress, by tampering with the SAO server’s router, entrapped Asuna and our fellow survivors in ALO in which while Asuna was trapped in a cage, he was performing sick and twisted experiments on their brains while he mentally tortured Asuna.” Keiko and Hiyori give looks of shock and Rika then says, with a sly smirk, “Until our ‘Black Swordsman’ and ‘White Valkyrie’ with help from the Sailor Scouts and Serena’s boyfriend broke into his secret facility in ALO and beat his ass. I just loved the part where Kirito, after he turned off the pain absorbers, cut him in half and rammed his sword right through his eye!”

 

Oberon gives a snarl at that and Keiko says, nervously with a winch, “Ouch.”

 

Sailor Orion says, with a smirk, “Nice.”

 

Oberon gives a roar of anger and he yells out, “Shut up!”

 

Rika retorts, in a taunting tone, “Ah, still sore? You deserved it you perverted pig! And don’t give us that crap about being some kind of kami! You are no kami, ass! Just like Serena and Kirito said, you are a thief king on a stolen throne and our friends gave you the sword up your ass that you deserve!”

 

Oberon’s expression becomes one of twisted rage and Keiko says, nervously, “Rika…I don’t think…you should enrage him…”

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “Especially with that Dark Signer power that he is wielding.” There are looks of shock from the others and she says, “He has the Whale Mark on his right arm.”

 

There are gasps and Rika shouts out, shocked, “He’s a Dark Signer?!”

 

Oberon gives an evil smile and he says, showing his right arm, “Oh, yes. Take a look!” Just then his lower right arm glows with the Whale Dark Signer Mark causing his fairy wings and his eyes’ irises to become pitch black in color while causing the whole of Aincrad to shake as dark violet flames in the shape of the Whale Mark of the Nazca Lines causing Sailor Orion’s Dragon Tail Mark of the Dragon to glow on her lower right arm in which Oberon says, “Oh, you are a Signer too? Just like that wench!”

 

Sailor Orion tells Oberon, “If you mean by ‘wench’, Serena AKA Sailor Moon, what does that make you, worthless hentai, that got beaten by said ‘wench’ and a ‘so-called hero’?” A look of pure rage and fury twists Oberon’s face into a look of pure unbridled fury, making both Keiko and Hiyori very nervous.

 

Oberon yells out, with pure fury in his voice, “THAT DOES IT! YOU ARE DEAD, BRAT!!!” Just then the whole of castle starts to shake and quake as a powerful dark aura surrounds Oberon.

 

Rika says, nervously, “You had to make him mad!”

 

Keiko yells at Rika, “You kind of started it, Rika!”

 

(Elsewhere in Aincrad; on the meanwhile)

 

Joining up with Kazuto and Asuna, they are in the middle of the metallic city, known as Granzam, the main town of floor 55, in which they came from the building where Kazuto just dueled Kuradeel in.

 

Kazuto says, “It wasn’t an accident that I dueled Kuradeel in the former Knights of the Blood headquarters.”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “I agree, Kirito-kun.” However, the shaking caused by Oberon’s power ‘hits’ the floor and Kirito and Asuna yelp as they struggle to stay up as the area violently shakes causing Asuna to ask, nervously, “What’s going on?”

 

Kazuto responds, holding onto Asuna as he tries to keep her and himself upright, “I don’t know Asuna!”

 

(Back with Orion and her group; a brief time afterwards)

 

Returning back to the situation with Sailor Orion and her group, Oberon’s dark aura dies down as a Dark Signer duel disk with a dueling deck inside appears around Oberon’s left wrist causing the shaking to stop.

 

Oberon tells Sailor Orion, “When I send you screaming into the Netherworld, I can’t wait to see the looks of horror and despair on that wench’s and bastard’s faces when they learn about one of their precious friends being destroyed by me.”

 

Sailor Orion responds, as a dark blue and black Real Solid Vision duel disk appears around her armored left wrist, “That’s IF you win.” Sailor Orion then takes her dueling deck from inside of her sub-space pocket and inserts it into her disk in which she tells Keiko, Hiyori, and Rika, “Stay very close to me. You may have your Legendary Dragons, but we can’t be sure that they can protect you from the Immortal when it is summoned.”

 

Rika says, nervously, “Thanks a lot.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice yells out, “Then maybe I should help!” Everyone looks to see Red Dragon Archfiend floating down above Sailor Orion which ‘vanishes’ causing Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Katsuragi, and Crimson Squad to land around Hiyori, Keiko, and Rika.

 

Katsuragi says, with a grin, “The cavalry is here to save the day!”

 

Mirai says, “Screw that! This is Naruto that’s saving the day since he is the one with the tattoo that can create the force-field!”

 

Sakura tells Mirai, a bit annoyed, “It’s not a tattoo, Mirai.”

 

Naruto tells Sailor Orion, “I’ll keep them safe with my mark.” Naruto tells Sailor Orion, while looking at Rika, Keiko, and Hiyori, “And don’t worry, I don’t move on anyone else’s ‘squeezes’ especially those belonging to Suguha-chan’s brother.”

 

Keiko, Rika, and Hiyori madly blush, and Keiko asks, nervously, “W-W-What?”

 

Rika says, annoyed tone while blushing madly, “Hey!”

 

Naruto asks, slyly, “Then why are you blushing?” Sakura punches Naruto in the arm causing him to flinch.

 

Haruka then says, slyly, “Well, I have evidence that they have ‘naughty thoughts’ about their ‘Black Swordsman’ since Keiko-san and Rika-san were looking at underwear used to tempt males.” Keiko’s and Rika’s face go cheery red in color while plenty of the others blush at this with Sakura, very enraged look on her face, trying to stomp on Haruka’s feet, through she manages to move her feet out of the way of Sakura’s attacks.

 

Katsuragi says, slyly, “Such naughty vixens you are!”

 

Sakura yells out, strongly, “Shut up, Katsuragi!” Katsuragi then ducks under Sakura’s punch while Hinata, blushing from learning about that ‘fact’, tries to gently restrain Sakura.

 

Oberon, this ‘conversation’ enraging him even more, yells out, angrily, “What does that bastard shrimp have that I don’t?”

 

Naruto responds, in a taunting slip-song, “I don’t know. Good personality, who is kind, caring, helpful to people, good-natured, a bit social ‘awkward’, but an all-round good person who ISN’T a fucking sickening hentai jackass with a god complex who plays with people’s brains for profit in which he gets their fat ass beaten by said ‘good-natured hero’ like their rightfully deserve, believe it!” Oberon gives an inhuman scream of pure undying fury as he notices Naruto’s Mark of the Dragon.

 

Oberon yells out, enraged, “THAT DOES IT! WHEN I’M DONE WITH THIS BITCH, YOU ARE NEXT!!!”

 

Naruto says, with a sly smirk and shaking his head, “Doubtful. You are already dead, literally, and now, you are going to be sent back to the Netherworld pit where you came from by Orion.” Naruto tells Sailor Orion, “Orion-san, kick his butt.”

 

Sailor Orion responds, “You don’t need to tell me, and this will be a pleasure.” Sailor Orion and Oberon activate their duel disks, the ‘energy blades’ that contain their disk’s Monster and Pendulum Zones appear as their decks are shuffled, and after their disks’ touch screen display 4000 life-points for each duelist, both of them draw five cards from their respective decks.

 

“Duel!” Sailor Orion and Oberon say in unison as their duel starts.

 

May 27, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture

 

On the meanwhile, we are with the rest of our heroes and heroines assembled in the area where Davis had his deadly Shadow Duel with Roman and then Davis, Kite, and Sailor Moon had their three-way duel where we find three of the four Signers in the group, Davis, Sailor Sun, and Sammy, looking at their glowing Marks of the Dragon.

 

Joey asks, curiously, “What’s with the light show?”

 

Yusei says, “A very serious Signer duel is happening right now.”

 

Crow says, with a nod, “When a Signer duels against a Dark Signer or someone of similar significant power and danger, our…their Signer marks glow to warn them about that.”

 

Davis says, “Yeah, it is also Signer against Dark Signer this time.”

 

Yugi asks, “You can tell?”

 

Luna says, “It is a ‘Signer thing’, Yugi-dono.”

 

Joey says, “Trust me, we believe you since we’ve seen plenty of ‘weird stuff’ in our time too.”

Duke says, with a nod, “That’s for sure.”

 

Kotone asks, “Can you tell who?”

 

Sailor Sun says, “It’s Shion…Orion! She’s dueling the Dark Signer now!”

 

TK says, “We believe you, Kari.” Just then Sailor Moon, the last Signer of the group who is currently unconscious and in the arms of Tuxedo Mask, groan as she starts to wake up.

 

Sailor Moon asks, weakly, “What?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Sailor Moon!”

 

Sailor Moon asks, weakly, “Tuxedo Mask?” Sailor Moon groans as she holds her head and she shake her head in which she asks, “What happened to me?”

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, “You don’t remember?”

 

Sailor Moon says, “My head…feels like…it has been through a vice…” Just then images of what happened earlier go through her mind and she holds her head.

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, concerned, “Serena?!”

 

Sailor Moon says, solemnly, “What did I do? Oh, Kami…” Just then an image of Sailor Orion comes into her mind and she asks, “Orion?” She then looks at her glowing Mark of the Dragon on her lower right arm.

 

Davis says, with a plain tone, “That’s right, Moon girl. She is in a fight with a Dark Signer.”

 

Sailor Moon says, weakly, “Oh no.” Sailor Moon struggles to get back on her feet, but she feels a hand on her armored shoulder pad to look at Sailor Uranus looking at her.

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Oh no, you don’t. You just had that nasty set of cards warp that mind of yours and you are exhausted. You are taking it easy.”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Sailor Moon, “I think that Uranus is right, Meatball Head. You have been already through a lot today.”

 

Sailor Venus says, with a nod, “Those cards really knocked you through the ringer.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, “Do we even have a choice on even a break?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “Unfortunately, Sailor Moon has a point. Since Yuuko-san has such a reality-warping power of her own, we can’t take time to rest and recover. We need to move on her NOW.”

 

Kotone says, “And there is also Kazuto, Asuna, Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, and Suguha, herself. They need us.”

 

Tai says, with a plain tone, “And there is one place that we need to go.” Everyone then looks in the direction of Aincrad and there are plenty of very serious looks on their faces, knowing what they are and could be facing next.

 

May 27, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture, Aincrad

 

Back on Aincrad, we return to the Shadow Duel between Sailor Orion and Oberon AKA Sugou, who is now a Dark Signer, while Naruto and his group keep Rika, Keiko, and Hiyori safe through Naruto’s Mark of the Dragon that can create a force-field that protects people within a limited area from being absorbed by an Earthbound Immortal when summoned in these Shadow Duels.

 

Starting Scores:

Sailor Orion: 4000

Oberon: 4000

 

Oberon says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!”

 

Rika says, annoyed, “Hey, ladies first!”

 

Oberon responds, with a dark taunting tone, “Well, I don’t see them! All I see a bunch of brats!”

 

Rika says, with a sneer, “Bastard.”

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “Doesn’t matter to me. Either way, he will lose.”

 

Oberon says, with a dark wicked grin, “You can talk to talk, but you need to walk the walk!”

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “Says the guy that screamed like a little girl when Kirito cut your cheek.”

 

Oberon yells out, displaying Darklord Ixchel (2500/2900) and Darklord Superbia (2900/2400) monster cards, “I activate my Darklord Ixchel’s ability! By discarding it along with another Darklord, I can draw two new cards!” Oberon sends the two cards into the graveyard slot of his disk and he then draws two cards causing him to gain a wicked wide smirk on his lips causing him to think, darkly, “Excellent! With this, I will win in just a few moves!”

Rika says, “I don’t like the look on his face.”

 

Oberon says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “I activate my Darklord Contact! I can revive one Darklord from my graveyard in defense mode and I choose Superbia!” Darklord Superbia (2900/2400) appears on the field in defense mode and Oberon says, “And thanks to Superbia’s ability, I get another Fairy monster back! And I choose Ixchel!” Darklord Ixchel (2500/2900) then appears on the field in defense mode and Oberon says, putting one card into the Field Spell slot of his disk, “Then I activate my Mystic Plasma Zone Field Spell! My monsters may lose four hundred defense points, but they gain five hundred attack points!” Darklord Superbia then goes from 2900/2400 to 3400/2000 and Darklord Ixchel goes from 2500/2900 to 3000/2500 and Oberon says, putting one card on his disk with a pure evil smile on his face, “And now, I release both of my Darklords!” Both Darklords vanish as Oberon’s Dark Signer Mark glows brightly and Oberon yells out, “I summon Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua!” The classic ‘cocoon’ appears in the sky and at that moment, Naruto’s Mark of the Dragon creates a crimson red force-field that protects him and everyone around him as the ‘cocoon’ opens up to reveal Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua (2900/2400-3300/2000) in defense mode.

 

Rika asks, confused, “Huh? Defense mode? It has way more attack than defense! Why?”

 

Oberon says, putting one card into the main slot, “That’s for me to know and you to suffer when you find out! So, I play a second Darklord Contact! You know what that means!” Just then Darklord Superbia (2900/2400-3300/2000) returns to the field in defense mode and Oberon says, with an evil smile, “And due to Superbia’s ability, here comes Ixchel once again!” Darklord Ixchel (2500/2900-3000/2500) returns to the field, as well, but this time in attack mode. Oberon says, putting two more cards into the main slot of his disk, “I place two cards face-down and activate my Immortal’s ability now! Chacu Challhua inflicts damage on you equal to half of its defense points, but it can’t attack when it uses this effect, however, then again, who cares? Chacu Challhua, time to sink this pathetic brat!” Chacu Challhua then sends a ‘dark tsunami’ that slams into Sailor Orion causing her to get knocked down as she loses 1000 life-points.

 

Keiko says, “Sinon-san!”

 

Rika says, with a sneer, “That’s not good.”

 

Sailor Orion gets back on her feet and Oberon says, with an evil smile, “I think that’s enough pain for now.”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Orion: 3000

Oberon: 4000

 

Sailor Orion says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!”

 

Oberon says, with a wicked grin, “By the way, just to let you know, as long as my Immortal is in defense mode, you can’t perform your Battle Phase meaning that you CAN’T attack!”

 

There are gasps of shock and Rika says, with a snarl, “Saw that coming a mile away.”

 

Mirai tells Rika, annoyed, “No, you didn’t!”

 

Rika and Mirai glare at each other causing Hinata to tell the two of them, a bit nervously, “Is this really the time?”

 

Naruto says, with a snarl, “The old ‘slow burn’ tactic to slowly drain their opponent’s life points.”

 

Sakura says, with a nod, “Why not? You have another sick twisted ass on our hands!”

 

Rika says, nodding her head in agreement, “That’s for sure!”

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “No problem.” Oberon gives a confused look and Sailor Orion says, putting one card on her disk, “I summon Raidraptor-Vanishing Lanius!” Just then Raidraptor-Vanishing Lanius (1300/1600-1800/1200), a green and dark blue mechanical-like bird monster, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Rika, Keiko, and Hiyori are surprised, and Rika says, plainly, “That’s new.”

 

Sailor Orion says, putting another card on her disk, “When I summon this monster, I can special summon another Raidraptor from my hand and I choose Rudder Strix!” Raidraptor-Rudder Strix (0/1600-500/1200) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Orion says, “When Rudder Strix is summoned, you suffer six hundred points of damage!” Rudder Strix then seems to vanish before it appeared over Oberon and he yelps as he is pecked on the top of his head causing him to lose 600 life-points.

 

Oberon says, with a dark sneer, “Oh, you are going to pay for that insult!”

 

Sailor Orion says, “I don’t see that happening. I Overlay both of my Raidraptors to build the Overlay Network!” Both Raidraptor monsters turn into lights that goes into a vortex in the ground while Sailor Orion puts both monsters’ cards on the same Monster Card Zone on her disk while putting an XYZ Monster card from her Extra Deck on top of them in which she says, “I XYZ Summon Raidraptor-Force Strix!” Out of the vortex, Raidraptor-Force Strix (100/2000-600/1600), a blue and brown owl-like monster with two Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Orion says, “I activate his ability! By removing an Overlay Unit, I can add one level four Dark winged beast monster from my deck!” Force Strix absorbs one of its Overlay Units and a card comes out of Sailor Orion’s deck in which she says, putting another card into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I activate this: Rank-Up-Magic Revolution Force! By ranking up Force Strix, I can summon a Raidraptor that’s one rank higher! I rebuild the Overlay Network with Force Strix! Go, Rank-Up XYZ Evolution!” Force Strix turns into a beam of light that goes into a vortex in the ground as Sailor Orion takes an XYZ Monster card from her Extra deck and puts it on top of Force Strix’s card on her disk causing her to say, “Ferocious falcon, break through this fierce battle and spread your wings! Destroy our foes! Come forth, Raidraptor-Blaze Falcon!” Out of the vortex, Raidraptor-Blaze Falcon (1000/2000-1500/1600), a red metallic bird monster with two Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode. Sailor Orion says, “I activate his ability! By removing an Overlay Unit, I destroy all special summoned monsters on your field, and you lose five hundred life-points for every monster destroyed!” Blaze Falcon absorbs one of its Overlay Units and unleashes a barrage of beam from weapons launched from its form.

 

Oberon says, pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “I don’t think so! I activate my trap: Impenetrable Attack!” Oberon’s face-down card is revealed to be the Impenetrable Attack trap card and Oberon says, with a sneer, “Ha! This trap card prevents my monsters from being destroyed by battle AND effects during this turn!” Shields then protect Oberon’s monsters from the barrage coming from Blaze Falcon’s weapons. Oberon says, with an evil sneer, “Too bad, little girl!”

 

Rika says, with a snarl, “I don’t like his attitude!”

 

Sakura tells Rika, “What did you expect Rika-san? He is your typical egotistical megalomaniac villain.”

 

Oberon yells out, annoyed, “I am not your ‘typical egotistical megalomaniac villain’!!”

 

Rika says, with a sly smirk, “Yeah, more like your classic ‘cocky and over-the-top villain’ that’s all bark and no bite!”

 

Oberon snarls, angrily, at Rika and Hiyori asks, nervously, “Do you really want to make him mad, Rika?”

 

Sailor Orion says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “If he is mad now, he will be blazing mad when I play my Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force! With it, I can rank up my Blaze Falcon into a Raidraptor that’s one rank higher. I rebuild the Overlay Network with Blaze Falcon! Go, Rank-Up XYZ Evolution!” Blaze Falcon turns into beam of light that goes into a twister in the ground while Sailor Orion puts an XYZ Monster card from the Extra Deck on top of Blaze Falcon’s card on her disk causing her to say, “Prideful falcon, spread your wings dyed in the blood of heroes! Advance through the path of revolution! Be born, Raidraptor-Revolution Falcon!” Out of the vortex, Raidraptor-Revolution Falcon (2000/3000-2500/2600), a large black and yellow machine-like bird of prey monster with two Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode. Sailor Orion says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate my Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force! With it, I can rank up my Revolution Falcon into a Raidraptor that’s TWO ranks higher!”

 

There are gasps of shock and Oberon asks, surprised, “What?!” Revolution Falcon turns into a beam of light that goes into a vortex in the ground while Sailor Orion puts an XYZ Monster card from the Extra Deck on top of Blaze Falcon’s card on her disk.

 

Sailor Orion then says, “Dauntless falcon, ignite the flames of wrath and become an earth-scorching light! Go, Rank-Up XYZ Evolution! Meet Raidraptor-Satellite Cannon Falcon!” Out of the vortex, Raidraptor-Satellite Cannon Falcon (3000/2000-3500/1600), a white and red majestic machine-like falcon with three Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Orion says, “Since it was summoned using Raidraptors as XYZ Material, all of your spell and trap cards are destroyed and you can’t activate cards or effects against this effect!”

 

Oberon yells out, stunned, “No!” Satellite Cannon Falcon unleashes multiple beams of light that destroys Oberon’s face-down card and his Field Spell causing Chacu Challhua to roar out as it collapses into the ground.

 

When Chacu Challhua vanishes, the force-field around the others ‘lowers’ causing Rika to yell out, excitedly, “All right! Without his Field spell, his Immortal is finished!” On the meanwhile, Darklord Ixchel goes from 3000/2500 to 2500/2900, Darklord Superbia goes from 3400/2000 to 2900/2400, and Satellite Cannon Falcon goes from 3500/1600 to 3000/2000 with the loss of Oberon’s Field Spell.

 

Homura says, with a grin, “And without that overgrown whale, her monsters can attack now!”

 

Sailor Orion says, “I activate Raid Force’s effect from the graveyard! By removing it and one Raidraptor from my hand, I can add one other Rank-Up spell card from my graveyard to my hand!” A card comes out of the graveyard slot of Sailor Orion’s disk and ‘vanishes’ in which another card ‘vanishes’ while another card coming out the graveyard slot of Orion’s disk causing her to say, while putting said card into the main slot of her disk, “And then I reactivate it: Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force! As you may realize, this card allows me to rank up my Satellite Cannon into a Raidraptor that’s two ranks higher!” Satellite Cannon Falcon turns into a beam of light that goes into a vortex in the ground while Sailor Orion puts an XYZ Monster card from the Extra Deck on top of Blaze Falcon’s card on her disk.

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “How high can it go?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Falcon of ultimate creation, fly to victorious heights with the wills of your countless comrades! Go, Rank-Up XYZ Evolution! It is time to appear, Raidraptor-Ultimate Falcon!” Out of the vortex, Raidraptor-Ultimate Falcon (3500/2000), an immense dark blue and golden mechanical-like falcon with four Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Rika says, stunned, “It’s…It’s huge!”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Ultimate Falcon’s ability now activates! By removing an Overlay Unit, all your monsters lose one thousand attack power and you can’t activate your cards or their effects!” Ultimate Falcon absorbs one of its Overlay Units and shines with a light that causes Darklord Ixchel to go from 3000/2500 down to 2000/2500 while Darklord Superbia goes down from 2900/2400 to 1900/2400. Sailor Orion says, “And now, Skip Force activates its graveyard effect! When in the graveyard, I can remove it and one Raidraptor from the graveyard from play to summon one Raidraptor XYZ Monster from my graveyard!” Two cards come out of the graveyard slot of Sailor Orion’s graveyard, the two cards ‘vanish’, and Sailor Orion says, “Return, Satellite Cannon Falcon!” Raidraptor-Satellite Cannon Falcon (3000/2000) returns to the field in attack mode.

 

Mirai says, excitedly, “Awesome! Blast that fucker into oblivion!”

 

Oberon gives a nervous look and he says, with a snarl, “My two monsters may be going down, but I’m not finished yet!”

 

Sailor Orion says, putting the last card in her hand into the main slot of her disk, “Then I will take care of that problem. I activate my Raptor’s Treasure Nest spell card. Now, I can draw cards equal to the number of Raidraptor monsters that I special summoned this turn, but the same number of cards are removed from play. And with my math, which is correct, I get half-a-dozen new cards.” Sailor Orion draws said number of cards while half-a-dozen more cards ‘vanish’ from her deck with Sailor Orion saying, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I play my Spell Economics spell! While this card remains on the field, I don’t need to pay life-points to use my spell cards.” Sailor Orion says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Useful for me to play my Dimension Fusion. Normally, I need to pay two thousand life-points to use it, but due to Spell Economics, all I need to do now is return as many monsters that have been banished back to the field.” Oberon then gasps as a portal appears in the sky, three cards appear on Sailor Orion’s disk, and out of the portal, Blackwing-Zephyros the Elite (1600/1000), Blackwing-Gladius the Midnight Sun (800/1500), and Blackwing-Oroshi the Squall (400/600) appear on the field in attack mode. Sailor Orion says, her eyes narrowing, “I tune my Oroshi the Squall with Gladius and Zephyros!” Oroshi the Squall turns into one star that surrounds both Zephyros and Gladius, turning them transparent, and then causing a column of light to appear on the field in which a new Synchro Monster card appears on Sailor Orion’s duel disk.

 

Rika says, excitedly, “Oh, yeah! I know what’s coming!”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Fly to me from the last days, cloaked in obsidian winds! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon!” Out of the light, Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon (2800/1600), a dragon that looks like a ‘darker version’ of Black-Winged Dragon, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Rika says, surprised, “I guess that I didn’t know what was coming.”

 

Hiyori asks, curiously, “That’s not Black-Winged Dragon?”

 

Keiko says, shaking her head, “No. It looks a lot like it, but it isn’t.”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Oroshi the Squall’s ability now activates! When used for a Synchro Summon, I can now switch the mode of one of your monsters!” Oberon gives a nervous yelp as Superbia switches from defense mode to attack mode.

 

Oberon says, worriedly, “How can this be? I can’t lose to a little brat like you!”

 

Sailor Orion responds, plainly with a dangerous glare in her eyes, “You are about to. I have to admit that Kirito has helped me a lot and I owe him quite a bit including getting me such new friends as well as helping me find my destiny. So, when you threaten new friends, you find out while I am the great huntress of the Sailor Scouts and while in the world of GGO, I am known as ‘Hecate’, a goddess of death.” Sailor Orion says, snapping her fingers, “Ultimate Falcon, destroy Ixchel!” Ultimate Falcon unleashes a powerful blast at Ixchel, destroying it in a strong explosion, and causing Oberon to yell out in pain and shock as he is sent skidding backwards as he loses 1500 life-points with Sailor Orion saying, as she snaps her fingers, again, “Satellite Cannon Falcon, target and destroy Superbia! And fire!” Satellite Cannon Falcon goes high up into the sky and unleashes a barrage at Superbia, destroying it in another huge explosion, and Oberon wails out as he is sent flying due to the explosion while he loses 1100 more life-points. When Oberon slams down into the ground and after recovering from the violent shockwave, he looks up only to see Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon looming over him.

 

Oberon says, fearfully, “No! Y-You can’t! You can’t do this to me! I am a kami! The kami of Alfheim!”

 

Sailor Orion points her right hand like a gun at Oberon and she says, plainly, “Bang. Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon, attacks and ends this. Game over.” Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon then attacks Oberon and he screams out as he is hit by the attack causing him to be vaporized as he loses 2800 life-points causing him to lose the duel.

 

Final Scores:

Sailor Orion: 3000

Oberon: 0

 

With the end of the duel, the final Real Solid Vision ‘projections’ vanish in which, after her duel disk deactivates, Sailor Orion just clap her hands as if she was dusting them off.

 

Sailor Orion says, “That’s that.”

 

Mirai says, with a sinister sly grin, “I like her.”

 

Yomi says, with a smile, “She is already taken.”

 

Mirai says, annoyed, “You are pissing me off!”

 

Hinata says, amazed, “Wow.”

 

Sakura says, with a nod, “No joke, Hinata.”

 

Suzume says, with a sly smile, “There is a lesson here.”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “Yeah, don’t piss her off ever.”

 

Homura says, nodding her head, “You got that right.”

 

Rika says, with a grin, “Kazuto and Asuna are really going to go nuts when they hear this!”

 

(On the meanwhile; Elsewhere)

 

Back in Granzam, Kazuto and Asuna get a ‘feeling’ and two of them then sneeze.

 

Kazuto asks Asuna, “Are you okay, Asuna?”

 

Asuna responds, “I’m okay, Kirito-kun.” Asuna asks, curiously, “Did you get a feeling that we should be really grateful to Sinonon just now?”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Yeah, I did. I don’t know why.”

 

Asuna says, with a smile, “Well, let’s just thank her regardless.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Okay.” Kazuto and Asuna continue on while keeping their guard up for more trouble.

 

(Around the same time; In the Ruby Palace)

 

Within the Ruby Palace, Yuuko, sitting on the throne within the Ruby Palace, is looking at what happened in the Shadow Duel between Sailor Orion and Oberon in which Heartland comes over to her and sees what she is looking at.

 

Heartland says, with a sly smirk, “It looks like he got dethroned again.”

 

Yuuko tells Heartland, “Be careful, Heartland. You were dethroned yourself in your world.”

 

Heartland’s right eyebrow twitches at those words and Heartland says, with a sly smirk, “You can be assured that won’t happen, again, especially with your aid, Lady Yuuko.”

 

Yuuko says, “That’s left to be seen, Heartland.”

Heartland says, with a sly grin, “Trust me, you will get an incredible show.”

 

Yuuko says, “Actions speak louder than words. And speaking of action…” Just then the holographic screen that was showing the duel changes showing Suguha and her two Digimon partners wandering through a foggy forest.

 

(Joining up with Suguha; A bit later on)

 

Within the foggy forested woods on one of the floors of Aincrad, Suguha and her two Digimon partners are wandering through the very thick fog of the massive forest with the massive trees.

 

Lunamon says, “These trees are so big.”

 

Agumon (Suguha) says, “And this mist is thick as pea soup!”

 

Suguha says, “That’s because we are in the Forest of the Wandering Mist, part of the third floor of Aincrad. It is part of New Aincrad as well as the original SAO Aincrad.”

 

Lunamon asks Suguha, “Are you sure, Suguha?”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah, I remember it from the stories from the others and my experiences in New Aincrad.”

 

Agumon (Suguha) asks, “So, you know a way out, Boss?”

 

Suguha tells Agumon (Suguha), “I’ll let you know, Agumon.” Just then Suguha’s ‘danger sense’ goes ‘wild’ and she says, seriously, “Hold it!”

 

Suguha’s two Digimon partners look at her and Lunamon asks, “What is it?”

 

Suguha says, with a serious tone, “We’re not alone.” The two Digimon gasp and Suguha says, seriously, “Okay, I know that you are there! Come out!”

 

There is silence for a second and then a sinister male voice calls out, “Well done…you are…just like your brother.” Soon enough, Suguha and her two Digimon partners see a figure within the fog and as the figure comes out of the fog, they gasp to see none other than Sterben AKA ‘Death Gun’, which was the GGO avatar of Shouichi Shinkawa, who was known as Red-Eyed XaXa, a member of the ‘murder guild’ Laughing Coffin, in SAO, walking up towards them.

 

Lunamon asks, nervously, “Who are you?”

 

Suguha says, seriously and getting into a defensive stance, “That’s Death Gun! No, that’s a member of the ‘murder guild’ of Sword Art Online that my big brother and sis fought while trapped there! He’s Shouichi Shinkawa, Red-Eyed XaXa!”

 

Shouichi responds, plainly, “Indeed. And I know who you are…sister of the Black Swordsman and the White Valkyrie.”

 

Suguha says, in an annoyed tone, “Let me guess: You want to destroy me to get revenge on Kazuto and Serena? Big whoop! That’s so lame!”

 

Shouichi retorts, “We shall see!” Shouichi then whips out his avatar’s, Sterben’s, infamous ‘Death Gun’, the Type 54 ‘Black Star’ pistol, and prepares to fire, but when he fires the pistol, in a flash, Suguha transforms into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and with lightning flash reflexes, she cuts the bullet in two with one of her swords.

 

Sailor Celestial asks, tauntingly, “You think that it would be that easy?”

 

Shouichi says, plainly, “No, I didn’t. Yes, you are their sister. But unlike them, the horrid air of this world doesn’t dull your skills like it has for them. You are pure. A swordswoman in both worlds. But like them, you are weak. You fight only to defend. I am a true killer.”

 

Sailor Celestial responds, “And that’s what make you weak.” The eyes of Shouichi’s mask glow and Sailor Celestial tells him, “You pick on the weak and sneak attack them. A true sign of a coward and weakling. You may have fought big brother well in GGO, but that’s because he was using his ALO avatar after he reset to get rid of his SAO stats and even then, you lost to him. You and your band of murderous misfits also lost to big brother and sis back in SAO. The only reason that you were able do what you did was out of fear. If a person isn’t afraid of you, you are nothing.” There is a tense silence for a few moments and Shouichi puts his weapon away only to reveal a Chaos Duel Disk attached to his left arm.

 

Shouichi says, “You shall see how wrong you are. I shall enjoy the terror twisted on your face.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, preparing her sword to strike, “And what’s make you think that I will let that happen? You won’t get a chance to play that card.”

 

Shouichi retorts, plainly, “You wouldn’t think that I didn’t bring insurance, did you?” Sailor Celestial gives a curious quirk and Shouichi points to a tree that’s some distance away where Suguha and her two Digimon partners look to see none other than Yuuna Shigemura and Eiji Nochiizawa, gagged, tied up, and hanging from the tree branches by long ropes that they were tied up with.

 

Sailor Celestial says, shocked, “No!”

 

Shouichi says, “They are rigged with bombs that will denotate with a trigger that I have or if you get near them.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, angrily, “Damn you!”

 

Shouichi says, “Let us see if your fury matches that of your siblings as I have seen.”

 

Sailor Celestial’s Real Solid Vision duel disk appears around her left wrist and she says, with a snarl, “Fine! But you are going to pay for this!”

 

Shouichi says, plainly, “We shall see.” Both Sailor Celestial and Shouichi insert their dueling decks into their duel disks and activate them causing their disks’ ‘energy blades’ containing their Monster and Pendulum Zones to appear while their decks are shuffled by their disks. When their duel disks’ touch screens display 4000 life-points, both of them draw five cards from their decks as they prepare for their duel.

 

Starting Scores:

Sailor Celestial: 4000

Shouichi: 4000

 

Sailor Celestial says, drawing a card, “Ladies first, jerk! My turn! I draw!”

 

Shouichi says, plainly, “You will need the head start.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, displaying Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) and Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon (2700/2000) Pendulum Monster cards, “I take scale four, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and scale eight, Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon, and set the Pendulum Scale!” Sailor Celestial puts said cards on her disk’s Pendulum Zones causing her disk’s Monster Card Zones to glow with the words ‘Pendulum’ in rainbow colors while the two monsters appear on the field in two columns of light, one monster per column, with the number 4 below Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and number 8 below Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon. Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate my Soul Pendulum spell card! While this card remains on the field, once per turn, I can increase or decrease the Pendulum Scale of each Pendulum Monster on the scale by once per turn! So, I decrease Pendulum Dragon’s scale by one and increase Arc Pendulum Dragon’s scale by one!” The number below Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon goes down from 4 to 3 while the number below Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon goes up from 8 to 9 causing a crystal pendulum to appear on the field causing Sailor Celestial to say, “Now, I can summon monsters that are levels four through eight this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Sailor Celestial puts two cards on her disk, and she says, “Performapal Coin Dragon and Xiangsheng Magician! Time to come on down!” A circle of light appears on the field, two ‘lights’ come from the circle, and those ‘lights’ are revealed to be Performapal Coin Dragon (1700/1000) and Xiangsheng Magician (500/2500) in attack mode in which Sailor Celestial says, “Since I have successfully Pendulum Summoned Pendulum monsters, this card gains a Pendulum counter and for every counter on this card, all Pendulum monsters gain three hundred attack points!” Performapal Coin Dragon goes from 1700/1000 to 2000/1000 and Xiangsheng Magician go from 500/2500 to 800/2500 in which Sailor Celestial says, “Then I Overlay my Coin Dragon and Magician and build the Overlay Network!” Two said monsters turn into light that goes into a vortex in the ground while Sailor Celestial puts their cards on the same Monster Card Zone on her disk while she puts an XYZ Monster card on top of the two Pendulum monster cards on Sailor Celestial’s disk causing her to say, “Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose its treacherous fangs! Descend now! I XYZ Summon Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon!” Out of the vortex, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (2500/2000) with two Dark Overlay Units orbiting it appear on the field in attack mode. Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I put one card face-down and end my turn.”

 

Shouichi says, drawing a card, “It is my turn.” Shouichi says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “I start with Pot of Greed.” Shouichi draws two cards from his disk and he says, displaying the Seal of Orichalcos Field Spell card, “Next, I play my Seal of Orichalcos Field Spell.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, sternly, “Do you know what that card does? You are going to regret it!”

 

Shouichi says, plainly, “I doubt it.” Shouichi puts the card into the Field Spell slot of his disk and he gives a loud groan as he is surrounded by sickly green column of light causing a massive wind storm to send Sailor Celestial’s two Digimon partners flying backwards and away as the seal surrounds Sailor Celestial and Shouichi.

 

Sailor Celestial says, concerned, “Agumon! Lunamon!”

 

Agumon (Suguha) says, “We’re okay, boss.”

 

As the insignia of the Orichalcos appears on Shouichi’s forehead with the eyes of his mask glow with an even darker red, he says, “You won’t be.” Shouichi says, putting one card on his disk, “I play Gatling Ogre in attack mode.” Gatling Ogre (800/800) appears on the field in attack mode and Shouichi says, “And now, the Orichalcos boosts its power.” Gatling Ogre roars out as it gets infused with the Orichalcos’ power causing it to go from 800/800 to 1300/800.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “This looks really familiar.”

 

Shouichi says, putting four cards into the main slot of his disk, “Next, I place four cards face-down.”

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, surprised, “Wait! Just four?!”

 

Shouichi says, putting the last card in his hand into the main slot, “Then I play my Gatling Enforcement Assault. I destroy all spell and trap cards on my field, and you lose one thousand life-points for each one.” Shouichi’s four face-down cards shatter in which the ‘pieces’ go into Gatling Ogre in which it unleashes a barrage of bullets at Sailor Celestial.

 

Sailor Celestial says, pushing a button on her disk, “I activate my trap: Damage Polarizer!” Sailor Celestial’s face-down card is revealed to be the Damage Polarizer counter-trap card and Sailor Celestial says, “Since you activated an effect that causes damage, it is negated and both of us draw a card!” A shield protects Sailor Celestial from the barrage of bullets and both Sailor Celestial and Shouichi draw a card.

 

Shouichi says, with a plain tone, “My card would have allowed me to draw one card for every card that I destroyed, but your effect stops that. But you won’t stop the effect of my Dormant Volcano trap card in which when it is destroyed, you suffer three hundred points of damage and I have set three of them.” Sailor Celestial yelp as she is blasted from flames from the ground causing her to lose 900 life-points and Shouichi says, “Then I use the effect of my last trap card: Dowsing Point. When it is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I get one monster card from my deck.” A card comes out of his disk and Shouichi says, “If you think that you will be attacking me, you are mistaken.” Shouichi says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “I activate Swords of Revealing Light.” Swords made of golden light surround Sailor Celestial’s field and Shouichi says, “For three turns, you can’t attack. I end my turn.”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Celestial: 3100

Shouichi: 4000

 

Sailor Celestial says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!” Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Graceful Charity! I draw three cards and then discard two!” Sailor Celestial draws three discards, discards two cards, and Sailor Celestial says, drawing two cards, “One of those cards was Card of Compensation! Since I discarded it from my hand, I get two new cards! Then I activate Soul Pendulum’s effect and lower the scale of Pendulum Dragon while raising Arc Pendulum Dragon’s scale!” The number below Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon goes down from 3 to 2 while Arc Pendulum Dragon’s number goes up from 9 to 10 in which Sailor Celestial says, as a crystal pendulum appears on the field, “Now, I can summon monsters that are levels three through nine this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Sailor Celestial puts two cards on her duel disk, and she shouts out, “Performapal Skullcrobat Joker and Double Iris Magician, come on down!” A circle of light appears on the field, two ‘lights’ come from the circle, and the ‘lights’ are revealed to be Performapal Skullcrobat Joker (1800/100-2100/100) and Double Iris Magician (1500/1000-1800/1000) in attack mode. Sailor Celestial says, “Now, my Soul Pendulum spell gains another counter and it boosts my Pendulum monsters by three hundred more points!” Joker goes from 2100/100 to 2400/100 while Double Iris Magician goes from 1800/1000 to 2100/1000, but then Sailor Celestial says, “And now, I Overlay Joker with Iris Magician and build the Overlay Network!” Two said monsters turn into lights that goes into a vortex in the ground while Sailor Celestial puts the two monsters’ cards on the same Monster Card Zone on her disk while putting a Pendulum-XYZ Monster card from her Extra Deck on top of them causing Sailor Celestial to say, “I XYZ Summon Hope Magician!” Out of the vortex, Hope Magician (2500/2000-3100/2000), a white robed and golden armored humanoid spellcaster monster with two Light Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode. Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I play my XYZ Gift spell card! Since I control two XYZ monsters, I can remove two Overlay Units from them and draw two cards!” Both of Dark Rebellion’s Overlay Units vanish in which Sailor Celestial draws two cards causing her to say, while putting both cards into the main slot of her disk, “And I place these cards face-down to end my turn!”

 

Shouichi says, drawing a card, “My turn. I draw.” Shouichi says, “The effect of my Dormant Volcano trap cards now activates. We must choose three Fire monsters from our decks to add to our hands.” Three cards come out of Shouichi’s deck and he then displays Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch (2400/1000), Benlineth the Firestorm Vassal (800/1000), and Blaster Ogre (0/3000) in his hand. Three cards come out of Sailor Celestial’s deck and she then displays Performapal Fire Mufflerlion (800/800), Dread Dragon (1100/400), and Masked Dragon (1400/1100) in her hand. Shouichi says, with a plain tone, “Weak.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a glare, “You think? Just try them!”

 

Shouichi says, discarding a card while putting another card on his disk, “Indeed. I discard a card to play Benlineth the Firestorm Vassal in my hand!” Benlineth the Firestorm Vassal (800/1000-1300/1000) appears on the field in attack mode and gets infused with the power of the Orichalcos in which Shouichi says, drawing two cards, “The card that I discarded was one that you used: Card of Compensation. I get two new cards since I discarded it from my hand.” Shouichi says, putting one card on his disk, “I release Benlineth to play Thestalos.” Benlineth vanishes as Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch (2400/1000-2900/1000) appears on the field in attack mode in which he gets infused with the power of the Orichalcos in which Shouichi says, “Benlineth’s ability now activates. Since he was used for an Advanced Summon, I banish one card from your hand until the end of the turn.” One card vanishes from Sailor Celestial’s hand and Shouichi says, “Thestalos’ ability now activates. Brought here by Advanced Summoning, you lose one card in your hand and if it is monster, you lose one hundred life-points times its level.” Shouichi points to one of the cards in Sailor Celestial’s hand, revealing Dread Dragon (1100/400), and Shouichi says, “Now, you lose two hundred life-points.” Sailor Celestial yelps as the card vanishes and she is hit with small flames causing her to lose 200 life-points. Shouichi then says, “Now, attack her Dark Rebellion.” Thestalos unleashes its flames straight for Dark Rebellion.

 

Sailor Celestial says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Wrong! I activate Negate Attack!” Sailor Celestial’s face-down card is revealed to be the Negate Attack counter-trap card and Sailor Celestial says, “This trap card negates your attack and ends the Battle Phase!” A swirling energy shield protects Dark Rebellion from Thestalos’ attack.

 

Shouichi says, in a dark plain tone while putting two cards into the main slot of his disk, “I shall end my turn with these.” Just then a card reappears in Sailor Celestial’s hand as the effect of Benlineth ends.

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Celestial says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!” Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate Card Destruction! Both of us must discard our hands and draw a new hand equal to the cards that we have discarded!” Shouichi and Sailor Celestial discard their hands in which Sailor Celestial draws two new cards from her deck with Shouichi doing the same. Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate my Pot of Avarice! I return five monsters from my graveyard to my deck and I draw two new cards from my deck!” Five cards come out of the graveyard slot of Sailor Celestial’s disk, Sailor Celestial’s deck is shuffled as they are put back in her deck, and Sailor Celestial then draws two new cards. Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate my De-Spell card and take out your Swords of Revealing Light!” The glowing swords of light around Sailor Celestial’s field shatter into pieces in which Sailor Celestial says, “Dark Rebellion, attack his Gatling Ogre now! Revolt of the Lightning Disobey!” Dark Rebellion’s fang glow as it charges in for the attack right for Gatling Ogre and it groans out as it is cut in two where it is destroyed in a strong explosion.

 

Shouichi says, pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “I activate my trap: Defense Draw.” Shouichi’s face-down card is revealed to be the Defense Draw trap card and Shouichi says, “I am protected from damage and I get one new card.” A shield protects him from the shockwave caused by Gatling Ogre’s destruction, and he draws a new card.

 

Sailor Celestial says, “It won’t protect you from Hope Magician’s attack!” Hope Magician fires a beam of light into Thestalos causing it to roar out as it is destroyed, but Shouichi doesn’t even flinch as he is hit by the shockwave as he loses 200 life-points. Sailor Celestial says, putting two cards into the main slot of her disk, “I end my turn with a pair of face-downs.”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Celestial: 2900

Shouichi: 3800

 

Shouichi says, drawing a card, “A mere trifle.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “It won’t be for long when I play my trap: The Gift of Greed!” Sailor Celestial’s face-down card is revealed to be the Gift of Greed trap card and Sailor Celestial says, “Now, you draw two new cards from your deck.”

 

Her two Digimon partners are confused and Shouichi says, drawing two new cards from her deck, “Pointless. You are making it easier for me.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, pushing another button on her disk’s touch screen, “My Talisman of Reversal says otherwise!” Sailor Celestial’s next face-down is revealed to be the Talisman of Reversal trap card and Sailor Celestial says, “Since you drew outside of your Draw Phase, I get new cards equal to your current hand!” Sailor Celestial then draws half-a-dozen new cards from her deck.

 

Shouichi says, “Not bad, but not good enough. Now, it is time for you to meet your doom.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a snort, “Big words from a loser.”

 

Shouichi says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “We shall see who the loser is when I activate my Polymerization.” Shouichi discards two cards from his hand causing Berserk Dragon (3500/0) and Burning Skull Head (1000/0) to appear on the field and he says, as the two said monsters go into a fusion vortex, “I fuse Berserk Dragon and Burning Skull Head together.” When Shouichi puts a Fusion Monster card on his disk, Shouichi says, “Meet the dark dragon of souls: Dragonerco Nethersoul Dragon!” Out of the vortex, Dragonerco Nethersoul Dragon (3000/0-3500/0), a massive fiendish dragon, appears on the field in attack mode and gets infused with the Orichalcos’ power.

 

(On the meanwhile; Elsewhere)

 

Back with Kazuto and Asuna, they have just exited out of the town and both of them ‘sense’ something causing them to look at each other.

 

Asuna says, “Kirito-kun…”

 

Kazuto asks, surprised, “You felt it too?”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “Yes.” Kazuto then gets a ‘weird’ feeling about why both of them ‘sensed’ the same thing.

Back outside of Aincrad, we find the rest of our heroes and heroines, riding on the back of Imperialdramon, in his ‘dragon mode’, where Sailor Saturn gives off a concerned look on her face.

 

Sailor Pluto asks, curiously, “Firefly?”

 

Plenty of the others look to see Sailor Saturn’s concerned look and Sailor Saturn says, “I feel strange. Like someone is using something that should be a part of me.”

 

Sailor Neptune asks, curiously, “A part of you?”

 

Sailor Venus asks, “What do you mean?”

 

Davis and Sailor Sun look at each other and Sailor Sun asks Sailor Saturn, “Do you have an idea on where this is happening?”

 

The others then start to look at Sailor Sun and Tai asks, curiously, “Kari?”

 

Sailor Saturn says, pointing to a certain area on Aincrad, “Over there.”

 

Davis then says, “Okay, Imperialdramon, let’s head out!”

 

Imperialdramon responds, with a nod, “You got it, Davis!” Soon enough, Imperialdramon rushes towards where Sailor Saturn had pointing out that her ‘feeling’ was coming from in which plenty of the others gain serious looks on their faces.

 

May 27, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture, Aincrad

 

Back within Aincrad, we return to the duel between Sailor Celestial and Shouichi as Shouichi’s new monster stares down Sailor Celestial and her monster in which Sailor Celestial feels a ‘pulse’ from her Extra Deck.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “What was that?” Just then an image of her Black Rose Moonlight Dragon (2400/1800) Synchro Monster card comes into her mind and she thinks, surprised, “My Duel Dragon! Could that dragon be…?”

 

Shouichi says, putting one card on his disk, “Then I play my Ghost Charon, the Underworld Boatman.” Soon after, Ghost Charon, the Underworld Boatman (500/0-1000/0) appears on the field in attack mode and get infused with the power of the Orichalcos. Shouichi says, “And now, I tune Ghost Charon with Dragonerco Nethersoul Dragon.” Ghost Charon turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround Dragonerco Nethersoul Dragon, turning it transparent, and causing a column of light to appear on the field when he goes for a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck. Shouichi says, “Roll back the tide of the dead and emerge from the river of grief that flows through the underworld! Synchro Summon!” Shouichi says, putting the Synchro Monster card on his disk, “Come forth, Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon!” Out of the light, Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon (4000/2000-4500/2000), a larger and even more sinister version of Dragonerco Nethersoul Dragon with a fiendish face as its chest plate, appears on the field in attack mode and the Orichalcos infuses its power into it.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, a bit nervously, “Oh, boy.”

 

Shouichi says, “And now, your end begins. Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon, destroy your Hope Magician.” Just then what seems like violet ‘ghosts’ and ‘spirits’ appear in the skies and goes into chest plate in which the ‘mouth’ of the chest plate of Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon opens up in which Shouichi says, “Ghost Stream!” Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon fires a powerful beam that vaporizes Hope Magician in massive explosion causing Sailor Celestial to grunt as she is sent skidding backwards as she loses 1400 life-points where she hits the barrier of the seal causing her currently smoking to stumble forwards.

 

Lunamon and Agumon (Suguha) gasp in shock and concern and Lunamon asks, worriedly, “Are you okay?”

 

Sailor Celestial responds, a bit sarcastically, “Peachy, Lunamon.”

 

Shouichi says, “You won’t be since I activate Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon’s ability. When this card destroys your monster and sends it to the graveyard, I can make an attack against your monster’s one more time.”

 

Sailor Celestial’s two Digimon partners gasp in shock and Agumon (Suguha) says, “Oh, man! The Boss can’t survive another hit!”

 

As Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon looms down on Dark Rebellion, Shouichi says, “That’s the point. When your soulless body is presented to your brother, I shall relish his pain and agony.” Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon then unleashes its attack right for Dark Rebellion, but Sailor Celestial pushes a button on her disk’s touch screen before the attack hits which vaporizes Dark Rebellion in a massive explosion and engulfing Sailor Celestial in a massive amount of smoke and dust.

 

Sailor Celestial’s two Digimon partners say in unison, horrified, “No!”

 

Shouichi says, plainly, “I win.” But when the smoke and dust cleared, Dark Rebellion is gone, but Sailor Celestial is still there with 3500 life-points and a face-up Nutrient Z trap card on her field causing Shouichi to say, shocked, “W-What?! That’s not possible!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smirk, “My Nutrient Z makes it possible. Just before your attack damaged me, since it would have taken two thousand life-points, my Nutrient Z boosts my life by four thousand, so, your attack just made me stronger!”

 

Agumon (Suguha) shouts out, “Way to go, Boss!”

 

Shouichi says, with a snarl, “This isn’t over. I end my turn.”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Celestial: 3500

Shouichi: 3800

 

As Sailor Celestial prepared to start her turn, a familiar female voice says, “Suguha-chan!” Everyone looks to see Naruto and all that were with him arrive on scene with Imperialdramon crashing through the trees around the same time in which he lets off the group on his back when he lands before de-digivolving back into Veemon and Wormmon.

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Glad to see that you are okay.”

 

Sailor Orion asks, gasping on seeing Shouichi, “Death Gun?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Yes and no. An ‘old foe’ of my big brother’s and sis.”

 

Sailor Moon says, surprised, “Red-Eyed XaXa!”

 

Shouichi says, plainly, “Hello, Valkyrie.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, “How are you here?”

 

Matt says, “I think that the answer is obvious.”

 

Sakura says, with a nod, “No joke.”

 

Shouichi says, “I shall fill you and the Black Swordsman with despair and sorrow in which you will watch as I rip out her soul.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “That will only happen if I lose, but that’s not going to happen since you are going to lose right now!”

 

Shouichi says, “You have nothing.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, drawing a card, “That’s what you think! My turn! I draw!” Sailor Celestial then says, “I activate Soul Pendulum’s effect and lower the scale of Pendulum Dragon while raising Arc Pendulum Dragon’s scale!” The number below Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon goes down from 2 to 1 while Arc Pendulum Dragon’s number goes up from 10 to 11 in which Sailor Celestial says, as a crystal pendulum appears on the field, “Now, I can summon monsters that are levels two to ten this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” One Pendulum-XYZ Monster card comes out of the Extra Deck of Sailor Celestial’s disk causing her to put that and four other cards from her hand on her disk causing her to say, “Return from my Extra Deck, Hope Magician! And join her, my duel-eyed dragons: Odd-Eyes Phantasm Dragon, Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon, Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon, and Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon!” A circle of light appears on the field, five ‘lights’ come from that circle, and those ‘light’s are revealed to be Hope Magician (2500/2000-3100/2000), Odd-Eyes Phantasm Dragon (3000/2500-3600/2500), Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon (3000/2000), Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon (3000/2500), and Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon (2800/2000) appears on the field in attack mode in which Sailor Celestial says, “Since Pendulum Monsters were Pendulum Summoned to the field, my Soul Pendulum gains another counter and all Pendulum monsters another three hundred attack points!” Hope Magician goes from 3100/2000 to 3400/2000 and Odd-Eyes Phantasm Dragon goes from 3600/2500 to 3900/2500 in which Sailor Celestial says, “Since Hope Magician was Pendulum Summoned from the Extra Deck, a Pendulum monster from my graveyard becomes an Overlay Unit for Hope Magician!” A beam of light comes from the graveyard slot of Sailor Celestial’s disk that goes to Hope Magician causing a new Light Overlay unit to appear orbiting Hope Magician.

 

Sailor Venus says, amazed, “Wow! That’s a lot of Odd-Eyes!”

 

Shouichi says, with a plain tone, “Those dragons are nothing compared to my dragon.” Sailor Saturn then stares right at Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon and she feels a ‘pang’ in her heart.

 

Sailor Neptune asks, seeing this reaction from Sailor Saturn, “Firefly?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I play my Fusion Tag spell card! One monster on my field can be treated as a Fusion Monster in my Extra Deck if that monster on my field is used for a Fusion Summon this turn!” Just then an image of Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (2800/2000) Fusion Monster card appears behind Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon and Sailor Celestial says, “I choose Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon to count as Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!” Just then an ‘image’ of Starve Venom Fusion Dragon surrounds Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon and Sailor Celestial says, putting one more card into the main slot of his disk, “Then I activate my Fusion Substitute! It allows me to fuse monsters on my field and I fuse Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon, who is now Starve Venom, with Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon!” Both said monsters go into a fusion vortex while Sailor Celestial takes a Pendulum-Fusion Monster card from her Extra Deck and says, putting it on her disk, “Dragon of the duel-colored eyes, become one with the venomous dragon to become the power that leads to supremacy! I Fusion Summon the Supreme King Violet Dragon, Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon!” Out of the fusion vortex, Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon (3300/2500-4200/2500) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

There are gasps of shock from many of the others and Sailor Jupiter says, stunned, “No way!”

 

Davis says, amazed, “Whoa!” On the meanwhile, unknown to everyone, Davis’ new crystal pendulum and Sailor Moon’s and Sailor Celestial’s crystal pendulums resonate for a brief second.

 

Keiko says, awe-struck, “So pretty.”

 

Rika asks, shocked, “When did she get that dragon?!”

 

Naruto says, with a sly grin, “She has been improving, believe it.”

 

Hinata says, with a nod, “Naruto-kun is right. This is a symbol of her new power.”

 

Shouichi says, “It won’t stop me.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon’s ability now activates! Once per turn, I target one face-up monster that you control and not only does Odd-Eyes Venom gains its attack points, but it also gains its name and effects until the end of this turn!”

Shouichi asks, stunned, “What?!” Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon glows as it stats go up from 4200/2500 to 8700/2500 and Shouichi says, with a dark snarl, “It doesn’t matter.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smirk, “Oh, you mean your face-down card? The one that you didn’t use earlier to make things more ‘interesting’ for you? Don’t count on it.” Sailor Celestial says, putting one card on her disk, “I play Performapal Fireflux in attack mode!” Just then Performapal Fireflux (1200/1600-2100/1600) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Celestial says, “Venom Dragon, end this duel now!” Venom Dragon’s wings start to glow with an ethereal light as it prepares to attack Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon.

 

Shouichi says, plainly, “Foolish.”

 

As Shouichi prepares to push a button on his disk’s touch screen, Sailor Celestial says, with a smirk, “It won’t work! Fireflux’s ability prevents you from activating any spell or trap cards when any Performapal or Odd-Eyes monsters attacks until after damage has been done!”

Shouichi says, shocked, “No!” Venom Dragon unleashes its attack that slams into Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon, but while its ability protects it, the wave of energy slams into Shouichi causing his mask to shatter, revealing his real-life face, as he screams out as he loses 4200 life-points as well as the duel.

 

Final Score:

Sailor Celestial: 3500

Shouichi: 0

 

With the end of the duel, Shouichi, his form smoking greatly, collapses to his knees, and when the Real Solid Vision ‘projections’ vanish, the seal starts close in around Shouichi.

 

Shouichi says, bringing out a remote control in his right hand, which is shaking greatly, “I…won’t go…alone…”

 

Sailor Celestial yells out, horrified since she knows what that means, “No!” But Shouichi pushes the button before Sailor Celestial could even more to stop him.

 

However, a female voice calls out, slyly, “I think not.” Everyone looks to see Yuuna and Eiji, both of whom are free from their restraints and gags, by Asuka, Hibari, Yagyu, and Ikaruga, standing before them with Yagyu having the deactivated bombs in her hands.

 

Katsuragi says, with a grin, “Hey, girls!”

 

Yagyu says, dropping the deactivated bombs to the ground, “You lose.” Shouichi’s eyes roll in the back of his head before he collapses to the ground as his soul was sealed away.

 

Sailor Moon asks Yuuna and Eiji, concerned, “Yuuna-san, are you and Eiji-san okay?”

 

Yuuna says, with a nod, “Yes, we are fine.”

 

Eiji yells out, “What the heck is going on?”

 

Sailor Uranus tells Eiji, “Watch it, pal. You know darn well that you shouldn’t be uppity with us.” Sailor Saturn, on the meanwhile, goes over to the fallen form of Shouichi and finds both the Dragonerco Nethersoul Dragon (3000/0) Fusion Monster card and Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon (4000/2000) Synchro Monster card.

 

Sailor Neptune asks, seeing what Sailor Saturn is going, “Firefly, what are you doing?” As Sailor Saturn reaches for the cards, Sailor Neptune says, concerned, “Wait!” However, Naruto is the one that stops Sailor Saturn and she looks at him.

 

Naruto says, “Whoa there! I think that you should have someone purify those cards first!”

 

Hinata says, with a nod, “Good idea, Naruto-kun.”

 

Sakura yells out at Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial, while pointing to the two cards, “Hey, can one of you purify these cards?”

 

Everyone looks at Sakura and Sailor Celestial asks, “Hold up, are you saying…?”

 

Mirai yells out, annoyed, “What do you think genius?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, annoyed, “Fine.” Sailor Celestial then goes over, puts her hands over her broach, and her broach opens up in which a rainbow glow passes over the two cards causing small bits of violet energy to leave the cards. Afterwards, Naruto picks up the cards and hands them over to Sailor Saturn.

 

Naruto says, “Here you go.”

 

Sailor Saturn says, with a light flush on her cheeks, “Thank you.”

Sailor Uranus asks, a bit suspiciously, “What do you think you are doing?”

 

Naruto responds, “Giving her what belongs to her.”

 

Suzume says, “That Duel Dragon belongs to her since she is its Duel Priestess.”

 

Kotone asks, curiously, “Duel Dragon?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “The Duel Dragons are a group of powerful dragons linked to Ultimaya Tzolkin, the dark counterpart to the Crimson Dragon, including counterparts to the Signer Dragons.”

 

Naruto says, displaying his Stardust Spark Dragon (2500/2000) Synchro Monster, “Like this guy for example. I’m not only a Signer, but I’m a Duel Priest, a ‘wielder’ to a Duel Dragon. This is Stardust Spark Dragon, Duel Dragon counterpart to Davis’ Stardust Dragon. There is also Hot Red Dragon Archfiend, Black Rose Moonlight Dragon, Power Tool Mecha Dragon, Ancient Pixie Dragon, and Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon.”

 

Sammy says, taking out Power Tool Mecha Dragon (2300/2500) Synchro Monster card, “Hold on, I have that card!”

 

Sailor Moon says, looking at Ancient Pixie Dragon (2100/3000) Synchro Monster card, “And I have one of those cards too.”

 

Sailor Orion says, displaying her Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon (2800/1600) Synchro Monster card, “Same as well.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “However, the Duel Dragon counterparts to the Signer Dragons aren’t the only Duel Dragons. You might remember Kayaba’s Ascension Sky Dragon. It is a Duel Dragon too.”

 

Yolei says, “Yeah, but he is toast!”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, “And didn’t Kayaba wield Ultimaya Tzolkin during what happened in Rainbow Gardens at the end of what happened in Sword Art World?”

 

Suzume says, with a nod, “Yes, but not at full strength.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, “What do you mean?”

 

Sakura says, “What she means is that Ultimaya Tzolkin wasn’t at full power. Only when all of the Duel Dragon cards are assembled is Ultimaya Tzolkin at its max in which there is only the missing Ascension Sky Dragon and another Synchro Monster known as Void Ogre Dragon to go. And you remember that Ultimaya, when it was clashing with you, the dragons that Suguha wielded, and the Crimson Dragon, caused Naruto, Hinata, and I to be here. You can imagine if Ultimaya goes up to the max in power.”

 

Tai says, plainly, “Actually, I don’t.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, “Does that mean that Yuuko has that card? If she does, why she wants that if she has got something like this mysterious Genesis Omega Dragon?”

 

Hinata says, “She wants to use Ultimaya to break through the barriers of the multiverse and then use Genesis Omega Dragon’s immense reality-altering power to create a ‘world’ of her own design.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Ken says, stunned, “That’s crazy!”

 

Mirai says, plainly, “Uh, duh!”

 

Sailor Venus says, “What do we have to worry about? Kayaba was busted by Davis and Suguha and his dragon hasn’t been seen since! That means that we are okay!”

 

Sailor Mars glares at Sailor Venus and Homura asks, annoyed, “Are you really the classic ditzy blond? Does the words ‘find a new owner’ mean anything to you?”

 

Hibari asks, “You mean that dragon will find a new owner?”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “If that dragon already hasn’t, Hibari-san.”

 

Sakura says, “And I’ll give you a guess that Void Ogre Dragon isn’t that far behind in that regard.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “It won’t matter when Yuuko is stopped for good. This madness will end now.”

 

Davis says, seriously, “Do you really think that it will be that easy? I don’t think so.”

 

Matt says, with a nod, “It never is.”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, nodding her head, “Yeah, she is going to throw us another curveball.”

 

(In the Ruby Palace; around the same time)

 

Back within the Ruby Palace, Yuuko is watching the reunion of nearly all of our heroes and heroines with great interest as Heartland comes over to her.

 

Heartland says, “It looks like that psycho failed.”

 

Yuuko says, plainly, “Wrong. He did exactly as he was supposed to do.”

 

Heartland’s eyes widen and he asks, “You expected him to lose against her?”

 

Yuuko says, plainly, “He was just the delivery boy. He is an ‘SAO murderer’ and this was his execution.”

 

Heartland says, his eyes widening, “Oh, you wanted to get that Duel Dragon to its proper owner.”

 

Yuuko says, “Now, nearly all of the Duel Dragons have been assembled, Tzolkin will be at full power and once that darkness clashes with the Crimson Dragon, the barrier will be opened for GOD to perform its miracle for me.”

 

Heartland says, with a nod, “I see.” Heartland bows his head and he gain an ‘evil gleam’ in his eyes.

 

Yuuko thinks in her mind, “I know what you are planning, fool. Don’t think that you are hiding anything from me as I know that there those in my ranks that aren’t loyal at all. Thanks to the power of GOD, all will be right in the new world, a world where the virtual and the real will be in balance and there will be nothing from Sword Art Online, the game that took everything and everyone from me, especially those most bonded to it. Suguha and her family from two lifetimes will be gone forever. It is time for the final phase to begin.” Yuuko looks over in one direction where she sees human figures surrounding the unconscious forms of Tea Gardner and Serenity Wheeler.

 

End of Chapter 21

 

The plans of Yuuko are finally revealed, but is it all that her plans entail? Well, you know how you can find out, folks! Please read and review and no flames, please! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
